DIY and HA (lemmy.zip)
submitted 18 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) by gblues@lemmy.zip to c/homeassistant@lemmy.world

A little question for the HA and DIY crossroad. Has anyone here made your own sensors/devices with arduino, pi or some other microcontroller/sbc to interact with HA? I have some spare parts around and I'm thinking in something simple, like an air quality, maybe a little weather station or something to tell me if the garage door is opened or close, something simple, yet usable. I had a look on instructables, but I wished for something that would integrate with my first HA experience. Any thoughts?

Edit: thanks everyone for the replies. If you could share how-tos to this projects or anything it would be awesome. You are a great community indeed! :)

Yeap, the price of security and stability is not having the latest bling. I'm fine with that.

Hello everyone, and good evening. I got to old motorola phones (one fusion and a g8) and I'm gonna install ip webcam to put them to some use. Is there any other way I can make use of them with HA? Can I use their sensors for anything else?

Dunno about an extension, but I use tubular (a newpipe fork with sponsorblock) on android and set it to open all the links for youtube videos on it. It has been working quite good, although lately I've been getting some videos not showing on tubuluar. Probably some change on youtube break this kinda of app.

@CallMeMrFlipper@lemmy.world and @iamthetot@piefed.ca I used a setting on immich called "partner sharing" or something like it (my immich instance is on ptBR). If I'm not mistaken, it was on my account settings. There I can mark an option to my partners photos be shown on my timeline. There's something That I have to do on looged on their accounts as well, but I can't quite remeber it now.

Edit: Just update my instance now and everything is apparently running fine.

Gonna wait to update my podman instance. I'd like immich to have a better mamagement in a multiuser enviroment. I have my wife and kids phones sending photos to it, but I'd like to edit or exclude images from their accounts from mine.

Beyond Pi-Hole (lemmy.zip)
submitted 3 months ago by gblues@lemmy.zip to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

I've been using pi-hole for the last 3 or 4 years and I'm pretty satisfied with it. Now I'm thinking about the next step. Nowadays I have my local network and a tailscale to access my hosts. I'm thinking about a DNS solutions to solve the names on the locla network and thru tailscale simultanely, while been able to block ads on DNS like pi-hole do. What do you think would be a better solution for this next step? I've only used bind before, but I think and old dog can learn a new trick.

Maybe now I can finally put it to work on my homelab.

[-] gblues@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 months ago

Humm, thanks! Never new you could scheduled it. well, there are some series that doesn't have subs on my native language, so I was thinking in using the english ones to generate the correct subs, like using some automated translation tool and later revising it.

Hello everyone! Managed to get my hands on a HPE V1910 JE007a switch I'm planning to use on my home lab. Does anyone know if there's a FOSS firmware that can be used on it?

Thanks everyone for the support. Thinks look really tricky with invidious, and I'm thinking to stay with the public instances :)

Hello everyone. I'm trying to selfhost an invidious instance to use inside my home network, to, you know, avoid youtube and use sponsorblock. I tried to use their site instructions to hold a docker container (although I'm using podman-composer for personal reasons) but I just can't get it built. Has anyone succeded in doing it? any tips you can give me?

[-] gblues@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 months ago

Wow, thanks a lot for the tip! I'll have a look at them. I tested with an incandescent bulb in series with the power supply. It lit up brightly, indicating a short circuit. I also tested for continuity directly at the power cord, which confirmed the short. I tested the transformer apart from the circuit, and it's working fine.

Hello everyone. totally nob here but very enthusiastic. I'm trying to repair an old SA610 pioneer amp that is shorted. I remove the power transformer and it's ok, generating 64 volts between red and orange as 32 volts between any of these and the white wire.

So, the short lies elsewhere, but I'm having a little trouble trying to find it ou. Can anyone help me?

Great article!

[-] gblues@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 months ago

sorry for taking so long for a reply. I had to boot the server and that apparently made it work, although I'm not sure it was this, but it's working for now. thanks!

I'm trying to disable the "auto play next episode" feature on the android client of the jellyfin app, but it doesn't seem to work. Has anyone got the same issue?
